Report on 107 Cases Locus of Control-An Aid to Clinical Care ABSTRACTS CHARLOTTE LEBOEUF, PETER BRYNER, ELISABETH SHORTRIDGE and JOHN M. DAVIDSON Two examiners sequentially observed and recorded the location of pain produced when 30 patients complaining of subacute low back pain performed the six major ranges of lumbar motion. The overall results showed only a 60.6 per cent correlation, largely due to a high percentage of patients indicating that a certain direction of movement brought on no pain in either of the two examinations. It is suggested that three important variables must be considered in future studies: (1) the effect of poor two-point discrimination in the lumbar area, (2) the alteration in pain location or presence due to the movement created in the testing procedure itself, and (3) the type and duration of the back pain.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Mar;17(1):7-9 CHARLOTTE LEBOEUF, BRADLEY R. GRANT, GLENN S. MAGINNESS, STEVEN B. PRATT and JOHN D. PONTEYM Thirty-eight subjects with repetitive strain injury (RSI) of the upper limb(s) were randomly treated with spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) only or SMT with soft tissue therapy. The majority of participants reported some subjective improvement following five weeks' therapy. The group receiving SMT and massage improved more than the group receiving only chiropractic adjustments.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Mar;17(1):11-4 Vascular Accidents from Cervical Spine Manipulation: Report on 107 Cases ALLAN G.J. TERRETT This paper reviews the incidence of and analyses 107 cases of vascular accidents following cervical spine manipulation. The incidence according to gender and age is discussed to determine whether any particular age group is at greater risk. It also addresses the issue of criticism, often distorted and uninformed, which is used to alarm the public and malign a therapy which in experienced hands give beneficial results with few adverse effects.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Mar;17(1):15-24 Locus of Control-An Aid to Clinical Care JENNIFER R. JAMISON The content of the practitioner's therapeutic clinical communication is determined by the patient's health needs. The format in which this information is best presented is less clearly defined. Assessment of the individual's health locus of control constitutes a potentially useful approach to optimising the format of therapeutic practitioner-patient communication.
